This is a pretty good plan though it doesnt get you to Ireland. For scale,
figure I got from London to Ayr (south of Glasgow) in a long day's drive.
Highway miles. We got back to London from Glastonbury in an afternoon. You
want to be going through the Lake District in daylight or you will miss some
scenery. The Scottish lowlands... aren't that special; think the Shire and
you will pretty much have it. The highlands are worth at least a fast visit.
What I don't know is where the ferries are to Ireland if you want to do
that, but yeah, consider flying into one airport and out another.
